Bennett Library Simon Fraser University Burnaby, BC,Canada Last revision: Summer 2007 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) and their roles in forest conflicts in Tasmania, Australia, and British Columbia (BC), Canada. ENGOs challenge vested economic interests in order to give greater priority to environmental values. These challenges are often highly conflictual especially with regard to resource use. ENGOs use conflicts and more cooperative forms of behaviour to create environmental bargains with other institutions, notably business, government, labour, and Aboriginal peoples, to achieve their goals. This thesis compares and contrasts environmental bargaining in the forest economies of Tasmania and Be. Conceptually, the thesis elaborates on the theme of environmental bargaining from an institutional perspective that identifies ENGOs as central actors. Environmental bargaining is context sensitive and features the integration of multiple perspectives, dimensions, and voices. Processes and outcomes are interpreted along two dimensions, distribution of power between actors and forms of decision-making ranging from non-participatory to participatory forms. Empirically, the thesis draws upon interviews with over 80 representatives of ENGOs, companies, governmental agencies, and other NGOs in Tasmania and Be. In both places, environmental bargaining was characterized by high levels of conflict and played out on multiple spatial levels led by increasingly global ENGOs. While ENGOs in BC increased their bargaining power through international markets campaigns, Tasmanian environmental groups used national and international support to strengthen their power base. In BC environmental bargaining became more consensual and participatory over time leading to considerable changes in management practices and conservation but also changes in underlying values and perspectives. In Tasmania bargaining was dominated by non­ participatory forms of decision-making that did not reduce conflict potential even though the remapping of Tasmania's forests from industrial uses to protected area status has been relatively greater. In general, ENGOs are important in restructuring and remapping resource peripheries from economic to environmental imperatives as reflected in the bargaining outcomes. Moreover, environmental bargaining is contingent on place and a iii closer look at the cultural, economic, and political characteristics of the two regions offers explanations as to why environmental bargaining and outcomes differ.

First and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank my senior supervisor Dr. Roger Hayter for his guidance, encouragement, and support as well as my supervisors Dr. Trevor Barnes, Dr. Alex Clapp, and Dr. Christian Schulz for their critical feedback and suggestions throughout the process of my thesis. I am also grateful to Dr. Greg Halseth, Dr. Peter Hall, Dr. Ben Bradshaw for their time and valuable comments. A big thank you goes to the staff at the Geography Department for their help and advice, particularly to Marcia Crease and Hilary Jones. Cyrille Medard de Chardon helped with the maps included in the thesis. This work is based on the information collected in hours and hours of interviews and meetings with people from Tasmania and British Columbia who were willing to take the time to meet up, share their perspectives and knowledge with me, and show me around. I am particularly grateful to Frank Strie and his family, Gwenda Sheridan, Geraldine de Burgh Day and her family, and Barry Chipman for their hospitality and help. I would also like to thank my travel mates Richard Hoerner and Musty for their company during my fIrst visit to Tasmania. The fIeld work would not have been possible without the generous fl11ancial support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. A big thank you goes to my fellow graduate students from the Geography Department, my friends, and family for their encouragement, support, and help including endless hours of babysitting. In particular, I would like to thank my parents Beate and Martin Affolderbach, Rini Sumartojo, Tomasz Majek, Cristina Temenos, Julia Mackenzie, Sarah Paynter, Dr. Mike Gismondi, and Pascale de Rotrou. Finally, thanks to Cyrille and Gaelle Medard de Chardon for their patience and love and for reminding me every day that there is much more in life besides writing a thesis. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Approval ii Abstract

    66 SUNDAY MARCH 5 2017 THEMERCURY.COM.AU AN ADVERTISING FEATURE Food glorious food FTER 25 successful years the annual Taste of the Huon Festival continues to go from strength Ato strength, with 90 stalls showcasing the best wine, food and entertainment of the Huon and Channel regions. Festival president Rosemary Bennett said she is often asked how the event has survived for so many years. Rosemary’s reply is simple. “We stay true to our word with our promotion of fine food, beverages and crafts that are sourced purely from the Huon and Channel region,” Rosemary said. Held at the recreation ground at Ranelagh — a short 30 minute drive south of Hobart — the annual festival will be run next week over the Labour Day long weekend next week Rosemary said the quality of stalls comes from the strict criteria stallholders have to adhere to. “Their product has to be sourced from the Huon Valley and Channel region, purposely they work with the committee to present a professional stall and to provide wholesome, healthy, fresh food and beverages that are passionately prepared for the two day festival,” she said. “Where in the world would you expect to find green and black tea grown at Nichols Rivulet, premium honey from Bruny Island and the Weld Valley, gorgeous cut flowers from the Cradoc nursery, beer, wine, cider and milk soaps, tasty goats cheese and saffron, from the Channel region all on one parcel of land.” The festival will host more than 40 food stalls with everything from tiny pancakes from the Smallest Pancakes in Town to Indonesian Martabak cooked using the freshest Huon Valley products.

  • Australia's National Parks, Conservation Reserves and Marine
    Chapter 7 Other threats to the reserve system 7.1 This chapter will discuss a number of threats identified during the inquiry as matters of considerable community concern. Foremost amongst these was climate change. Land clearing, neighbours' management practices and mining are also discussed. Climate change 7.2 Climate change was identified as a threat to protected areas in submissions by government authorities in every jurisdiction. Queensland, like others, noted the 'potentially serious impacts of climate change on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity', while NSW rated it as a 'key threat' to conservation.1 The WA Government acknowledged that climate change may require a strategic response informed by research: It is particularly important in the light of global changes, such as climate change, to also invest in the science base to gain a better understanding of changes and effective management actions.2 7.3 A number of submissions supported the call for more research into climate change. Professor Ralf Buckley told the committee: [Climate change] has not had a significant effect yet on protected areas in Australia or anywhere else. When it does, it will be through subtle mechanisms that will be hard to recognise at first. Research on those things is really only beginning. It is not at all well understood.3 7.4 The Department of the Environment and Water Resources noted that Parks Australia recognises the importance of climate change as a key management risk, and is proposing to prepare a discussion paper on the potential implications of climate change for the management of Commonwealth Reserves.4 The Department has since advised the committee that they have entered into contracts for the assessment of potential impacts of climate change on the national reserve system and the Australian Government's protected areas (other than the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park), and the implications of these impacts for development and management of these areas.5 1 Queensland Department of Premier and Cabinet, Submission 175, p.
